As they said this, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado arrived together at Gawain's house.
Sakura gently knocked on the metal ring outside the gate, Naruto and Sasuke, who were arguing in the courtyard, immediately stopped. Sakura Haruno then took the opportunity to open the door for the two Hokage's assistants.
Sakura Haruno didn't know the Hokage's assistant; the two of them rarely appeared in front of ordinary ninja academy students.
Sakura Haruno is considered quite outstanding among her classmates, but she doesn't have any special talents. She's just smarter and more suited to be an intelligence ninja who can skillfully grasp information about various enemies even without the Byakugan.
Being placed in the same class as Naruto and Sasuke, two people highly regarded by the Third Hokage, shows that Sakura Haruno's information gathering ability is actually quite excellent, and her emotional intelligence is also pretty good when she's not in a relationship.
Once in love, Sakura Haruno can instantly become a bond between at least one of Sasuke and Naruto.
All of the above are the reasons why Sakura Haruno was assigned to be with those two.
As for Sakura Haruno's future talent in medical ninjutsu...
In fact, most girls with good brains have the talent to be medical ninjas, since medical ninjutsu only requires more precise control than ordinary ninjutsu.
Upon seeing the Hokage assisting her outside the door, Sakura Haruno was slightly taken aback at first, then quickly bowed.
"Greetings, seniors. You two must be Uncle Gawain's parents, right?"
Come on in, I'm the... prospective ninja that Uncle Gawain invited to his home!
In short, it was a pleasure to visit your home, and thank you for your hospitality!
As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura Haruno looked up and gave Koharu and En a sweet smile.
As expected of my mother, she analyzed the situation on the spot in an instant!
This family must hold a high position of power in Konoha Village, otherwise they wouldn't have a manor so close to the Hokage Tower.
It's a pity that the child of these two elderly people has some mental issues.
If Uncle Gawain hadn't always liked playing the grandfather role, he would probably have been an excellent ninja. It's a pity he's not famous Gawain all these days...
As she pondered this, Sakura Haruno waited for the elderly couple's reply.
In Sakura Haruno's opinion, that strange old man with some mental issues shouldn't be able to decide whether or not to entertain guests.
So whether or not I can stay and keep Sasuke and that loser is up to the old man in front of me to decide, right?
Only...
Hearing Sakura Haruno's words, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado couldn't help but exchange a glance.
When they looked at Sakura Haruno again, Koharu Utatane's expression stiffened.
Let bygones be bygones for youth; I couldn't have been that foolish with my youth!
While rolling her Byakugan inwardly, Koharu shook her head.
"Sakura Haruno, right? I am Koharu Utatane, the Hokage's assistant, and he is Homura Mitokado's assistant."
This isn't my home, and the two of us have no right to be Gawain's elders.
Here's the thing, we'd like to request an audience with Senior Gawain.
Sakura Haruno, please inform Gawain- senpai that we have come to visit!
As she spoke, Koharu nodded slightly to Sakura Haruno immediately froze in embarrassment.
Weren't you family all along?
My own reasoning... was wrong...
Wait, the Hokage as an assistant?
Could it be that important person Mom mentioned before?
That's not right!
Why would someone of such advanced age, a Hokage's assistant, still request a Gawain?
Could that seemingly crazy but handsome older man really be some important figure???
While pondering, Sakura Haruno hurriedly informed Gawain of Koharu and Koyuki's arrival.
After Gawain agreed, Sakura Haruno nervously led the two of them into the courtyard.
Upon seeing the two Hokage assistants arrive, Sasuke couldn't help but frown.
He had heard his father talk about these two people!
Therefore, the identities of these two people further corroborate Gawain's promise to Sasuke.
A powerful figure who can command the Hokage's assistant to pay him a visit might actually possess the power to kill Itachi Uchiha!
With that thought in mind, Sasuke he couldn't be bothered to argue with Naruto anymore.
What do you mean, "your grandfather's" or "my grandfather's"?
Who cares whose grandfather he is!
As long as I can gain the power of revenge, I wouldn't mind even acknowledging my ancestors!
At the same time, he was clearly surprised to see two famous figures being assisted by the Hokage.
"Hey, you two are... the old man and woman who often follow the Hokage around?"
"Strange, how did you all get here? Where's Grandpa Hokage?"
As he asked, Naruto looked towards the Hokage Tower with a puzzled expression. It was the first time he had seen the two old men alone, and he wondered why the Hokage hadn't come.
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke was momentarily stunned.
That loser actually knew the Hokage as an assistant?
Isn't the Hokage he keeps mentioning just a loser bragging about?
If that's the case, then Naruto might have some special qualities of his!
Could it be...? Could it be...? Maybe that loser really is his father's illegitimate son???
Yes, it's possible that there really are still surviving members of the Uchiha clan in the world, and that I really am Gawain's... Sun Tzu?
As for Naruto, if he is actually Uchiha descendant, it would explain why he met the Hokage and had the Hokage assist him!
More importantly, if that's the case, then it wouldn't be surprising that Uncle Gawain made him and Naruto call him "Grandpa" together.
Gawain had no idea what these kids were thinking. When he saw Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, he casually raised his hand and smiled.
"Oh, it's the two of you. Find yourselves a place to sit."
So, Hiruzen, have you figured out how to deal with me?
Or is it that you two came here specifically to find out this?"
"You must be joking, Senior Gawain."
Faced with Gawain's question, Yan smiled and shook his head.
"Konoha Village is the most peace-loving village in the Shinobi World. We will only retaliate when we are threatened."
You haven't threatened the safety of Konoha Village, so why would we consider you an enemy?
Just like today, we are offering you the most luxurious accommodations to entertain you; we are treating you as a distinguished guest.
"We've come here simply to learn about a different side of Shinobi World history from you!"
After speaking, Yan looked around and then sat down on a small stool not far away.
Gawain's spot was right next to the pond, and besides his Gawain chair, there were indeed a few other tables and chairs nearby used for decoration.
Hearing their conversation, Naruto had been chattering away, seemed to have figured something out and promptly shut up.
How could the Hokage have gotten beaten up?
Shouldn't the Hokage be the strongest ninja in the Shinobi World?
Sasuke but speak up, muttering something to Gawain.
"Uncle, you wouldn't... really be my grandfather, would you?"
That crane... that guy, could he really be another Uchiha clan survivor?
"How is that possible!"
Gawain interrupted Sasuke.
"Naruto isn't a descendant of the Uchiha clan, but you two are indeed brothers, and you're the older brother."
I am indeed your grandfather.
Koharu, Homura Mitokado, at your age, you should have some knowledge of the history of the Sengoku period.
You should know very well that during the Sengoku period, whenever a sufficiently powerful ninja appeared in one era, a correspondingly strong ninja would always emerge from another clan of the same era.
Such powerful individuals are not only found in the Senju and Uchiha clans; other clans such as the Uzumaki Clan Hyuga Clan, Kaguya Clan also have pairs of such outstanding individuals emerging.
That's right, those are the traces left by my two grandsons' continuous reincarnations. Indra and Ashura of this generation were reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.
The previous generation of Indra and Ashura were reincarnated as Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, who are your First Hokage.
Indra and Ashura are always reincarnated in pairs, which is one of the important bases for my search for my Sun Tzu.
Since you two are here, why don't you explain it to my Sun Tzu?
So that those two silly kids won't distrust their grandfather.
If even my Sun Tzu doesn't acknowledge me, I don't know how heartbroken I'd be.
Who knows, it might just destroy this boring Shinobi World, haha~."
Just as Gawain was joking, inside the Hokage Tower...
Seeing Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado leave, Danzo's voice rose two octaves.
He slammed his fist on the table like a Hokage, then roared at Hiruzen.
"The troublesome old stubborn man is gone. Now let's talk about this mysterious man, Gawain!"
Hiruzen, you're not really planning to let that kind of guy settle down in Konoha Village, are you?
Are you sure you're not insane?
"I'm absolutely sure!"
Hiruzen took a drag of his cigarette with annoyance, then spoke seriously.
"Danzo, you have never faced him in person, so you cannot feel the oppressive force he exerts!"
Having personally witnessed his strength, I am absolutely certain that even if I recall Jiraiya and Tsunade, we combined would still be no match for Senior Gawain!
Moreover, Koharu has already emphasized that Senior Gawain is a ninja skilled in space-time ninjutsu!
In the face of such a ninja, most actions are meaningless. Unless we can kill him, we don't even have the right to act!
"Even when White Fang's son and I attacked him together, we were defeated in one move. Do you think that with you and Jiraiya added to the mix, we have the right to suppress or even kill him?"
"Fart!"
Danzo cursed fiercely in response to Hiruzen's words.
"Even if there are various difficulties, those difficulties should not be a reason for us to indulge Gawain!"
Lord Tobirama entrusted Konoha to you, not so that you would be indecisive and allow trouble to arise within the village!
Difficulties are not an excuse; we must overcome all difficulties and lead the village further.
Stability is indeed a good way for a village to grow, but stability does not mean allowing threatening elements to roam freely in the village, and even having you, as the Hokage, serve him like a true elder!
Just because he has strength that we should fear, does that mean we should believe his nonsense?
Even if he really has the strength of Hashirama and Madara Uchiha, we can't just casually admit that some random guy is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the grandfather of the Uchiha descendant!
What kind of nonsense is that? Those two brats don't even share a father!
Reincarnation of Ashura?
Indra reincarnation?
Is the Sage of Six Paths's surname Gao?
This is utterly baffling!
Such a statement cannot even explain his true purpose in appearing in Konoha, let alone prove his origin!
If he wasn't a powerful figure who rose to prominence among the refugees due to his exceptional talent or a fortuitous encounter, then he must be a spy being groomed by other major powers!
Even if he does possess some ninjutsu that we've never heard of or seen before, don't forget Hiruzen!
The number of people is constantly changing with the times!
Tobirama himself was exceptionally skilled at creating new ninjutsu!
His so-called strange ninjutsu, and the fact that he inexplicably defeated you, are probably just some ninjutsu he created specifically to target you and deceive you!
Even if you really want to be a coward and surrender to him because of a single failure, then we should at least send out different people to test him!
I am the leader of the roots, the root that cannot break through the soil under the sunlight of the Konoha!
Since he is dangerous, let me send someone to test him a few more times!
Root is used for these kinds of things. Before my men conduct any probing, they will first sever ties with the village and probe as spies from other ninja villages!
I recently recalled some of the spies I had planted in the Land of Water. Most of them were registered ninjas of the Land of Water, and two of them even became Jonin of Hidden Mist Village!
Let them test us. If they fail, I can shift the problem to Hidden Mist Village use them to inflict further damage on them!
"Well, Hiruzen, my plan is absolutely feasible. If I were you, I would have already opened your old mouth and said even a single word of agreement, you bastard!!!"
Danzo was so eager to seize the Hokage's seal that Hiruzen ultimately shook his head in the face of his plan.
"Just like when I first met Hashirama Tobirama, I chose Lord Tobirama to be my teacher, instead of Lord Tobirama."
Although Lord Hashirama was powerful, my instincts at that time told me that only Tobirama Tobirama's style was more suitable for me, who had inherited some of my father's talents!
"And now, the moment I first saw Senior Gawain, I already had a feeling that his identity was definitely not simple, because his eyes showed me a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"
"Damn it, how can a ninja like you use instinct as an excuse?"
Hiruzen, are you serious?
Danzo slammed his fist on the table in disbelief, while Hiruzen nodded heavily.
"I am serious. I really believe we have no chance of defeating him. I also feel that we have never been enemies with him, because I have not felt any hostility from him either!"
This isn't politics, Danzo. I can accept the part of a political decision you've made for me.
But when it comes to the simple human heart, I understand it better than you do!
This is my order, Danzo: you are absolutely not allowed to launch any probing or attack against Gawain Konoha Village Gawain!
Gawain... is not any of the enemies you've faced in the past!
I believe we cannot afford the cost of testing!
"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"
"I am the Hokage, Danzo!!!"
